Distribution Engineer at Portland General Electric
No Offer – Reviewed Apr 9, 2013
Interview Details – The interview took place about three working days after the email telling me they were interested in meeting me. The two people who interviewed me were very friendly and made me feel comfortable. The interview questions were easy- How do you deal with complicated problems? What kind of work do you like and dislike? Where do you see myself in 5 or 10 years? Why PGE? A fair quiz on three phase power at end.
Interview Question – What did you do when someone critiqued your design and how did you react to it? Answer Question

Voice Architect at Portland General Electric
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Portland, OR Oct 2009 – Reviewed Feb 5, 2010
Interview Details – Blasted out to recruiters, only two candidates. 6 month contract which suited my requirements to a tee. However during the interview and post-interview offer process the scope and the duration of the contract increased without any increased offer in hourly rate. This and other items which surfaced during the interview were red flags as to viability of management.
Interview Question – Specific knowledge of Cisco WIM UCCE integration. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Creeping scope of contract without solid definition of deliverables and no increased offer in hourly rate.
